Detailed Review
chargeIQ is built for private and semi-public charging infrastructure rather than for public networks. Its use cases are residential property management, company-car charging, employee charging, guests and white-label resale.
The imprint names chargeIQ GmbH, Untertorstrasse 19, Leinfelden-Echterdingen, registered at the Stuttgart district court (HRB 773555). The site is German-first with an English version.
Modules
Basic covers charge points, RFID cards and billing agreements. Share sells electricity to third parties through QR code payment, a card terminal or roaming. Fleet refunds home charging of company cars per kWh, and Phase pools stations for static load management.
Billing flexibility
Agreements can be combined, for example monthly tenant invoices for wallbox consumption or annual statements, with an invoice overview and exports for accounting.
Open choice of hardware
The about page says the modular platform lets customers choose hardware, software and operating mode without proprietary lock-in.
Limitations to Consider
chargeIQ targets small and semi-public sites, so it does not offer the operator-scale features of Virta or AMPECO. No prices are published, and the founding year and hosting region are not stated on the pages checked. Dynamic load management depends on partners.
Who Should Use chargeIQ
Property managers, hotels, employers and installers who need to bill electricity from a limited number of charge points.
